Lipoprotein a
Hi. Does anyone have high lipoptotein A. Any success in reducing it? I'm 52 years old and have been told my coronary artery disease is premature so I was referred by cardio team to the lipid specialists. I was/am in good shape, decent weight/BMI and fitness. I'm now 8 weeks post-CABG x 2 and 7 months

Raised lump on CABG scar
I have a scar on my left forearm where the radial artery was harvested 17 months ago. Every now and then a “ sort of hive” appears in the exact same spot. It can be itchy but not sore in any way. It will go in a few hours. Has anyone else experienced this ?

Wellness poster for my stay at hospital
I am due to have a stem cell transplant and have prepared myself for my stay at the hospital. It’s been suggested that I can decorate my room and can use posters to put on the wall. I wonder if anyone could suggest somewhere online that they would know of that I could find any reasonably priced posters

Failed CABG
Hi all. So just over two years ago I had a double CABG. I required a graft to my LAD and OM2 artories. Over the last 6 months I have been having some angina-like pains and have just had the results from a cardio CT scan which shows my OM2 graft has failed. However, the cardiologist reckons that this

Go for it ! Cabg !
For all those reluctant to have this procedure I would say , go for it ! I had 2 yrs of heart attacks , 5 angios until the last one when the surgeon suggested a bypass would give me a better life than going in and out of hospital getting stents in and them failing . I had my op 11 months ago and would

Healthy Lifestyle choices can significantly boost your life span post CABG
Hello Lovely People, This is my first post and I don’t even know whether I am doing this correctly. I had a Heart Attack at the age of 33 and ended up having Quintuple Cardiac Bypass Surgery. I have had a lot of anxiety since then about quality life and my life span in general. Which, I am pretty sure

No appointment available for rehab
Dear All My husband was referred for cardiac rehab to our local hospital. However, the hospital told us that they are dealing with a huge backlog and hence it will take a lot of time before he gets an appointment. Does anyone know of an alternative? I registered him on the bhf Weekly email thing for
